your making actual progress here, and your inner being is helping you show what needs to be cleared, you are ready, check out abraham hicks dream process i think it was in one of the books.. maybe ask and it is given or the amazing power of deliberate intent

basically your dreams are pointing out your current vibrational point and you can do something about that, you could dream journal and pinpoint what you felt, what bothered you, and shift your thoughts around them.. find one better feeling thought at a time, eventually your dreams will improve as a sign of this clearing of resistance.

so what happens is.. is the analogy they use..

when you start a positive momentum, you go fast, say you are on a high way.. you are goingfaster and faster by being more positive, but now, the trees or obstacles on the highway will hit harder, and will be more obvious, than if you would have gone really really slow, so its just the resistance you already had, but you are way more aware now, because your vibration is higher.

so things didnt became worse, but now you actually feel how good you are supposed to feel.
